Tips from the Community
The Gothic Uppsala Cathedral (Uppsala Domkyrka), consecrated in 1435, is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Uppsala, the parish church of the Uppsala Cathedral parish, and a national shrine of the Church of Sweden. It houses the relics of Sweden's national saint, Saint Erik, and a relic of Saint Bridget. The church is traditionally the coronation and burial church for Swedish kings and queens. Following a fire in the former cathedral (in Gamla Uppsala), the Pope granted permission in 1258 to move the bishopric to present-day Uppsala (then Östra Aros). The move to Domberget took place in 1273. Initially, the existing Saint Erik Chapel was used for services while French builders, under the direction of Etienne de Bonneuil, began constructing a new cathedral. The construction would continue for over a century and a half. The cathedral's towers are the tallest church towers in Scandinavia, reaching 118.7 meters. The most powerful of its five church bells, called Storan, weighs 7,360 kilograms, making it Sweden's largest church bell. The Church of Sweden estimates that around half a million people visit Uppsala Cathedral each year.

Not far from Café Linné is the garden with a museum. Small but interesting.

At the end of the 1980s, the cathedral received a relic of the hip bone of St. Birgitta from the Birgittine sisters. A modern reliquary was created for this purpose and is located in the Finsta choir. The design of the shrine is inspired by the habit of the Order of the Redeemer. The five red drops of blood symbolize the five wounds of Christ. Birgitta's parents and siblings are also buried in the choir. The shrine of Saint Erik is also located here, which is why the cathedral is also called Erik's Cathedral.
